M. Jaya Rao

Often we face the problems of cleaning up stains and sometimes wonder whether we have live with them. Also we often wish that the cut flowers in the vases do not wilt so quickly. During monsoons we face the problem of dampness in the cup boards and are there any solutions to these problems? Here are some useful household tips: 1. 2. Ripen green tomatoes quickly by placing them, along with an already ripe apple, in a paper bag for 2 days. For best results, maintain a ratio of about 5 or 6 tomatoes per apple. Keep your wooden or plastic cutting board clean by occasionally scrubbing it with a paste made from 1 tbsp each of soda bicarbonate , salt and water. Rinse thoroughly with hot water. To get rid of smells and dried – up spills inside the refrigerator, remove the contents, and then sprinkle some soda bicarb on a damp sponge and scrub the sides, shelves and compartments. Rinse with a clean and wet sponge. To clean your microwave, put a solution of 2 tbsps of soda bicarbonate in a cup of water in a microwave – safe container and cook on high for 2-3 mins. Remove the container, and then wipe down the microwave’s damp interior with a damp paper towel. Freshly cut flowers will stay longer if you add ¼ tsp. bleach per litre of vase water. 3 drops bleach and 1 tsp. sugar in 1 litre of water will also prevent the water from getting cloudy and inhibit the growth of bacteria. 6. Rose and other cut flowers keep fresh longer if crushed aspirin is put in the water. Other household items that can be added to extend the life of your flower arrangements include: a multivitamin, a tsp of sugar, a pinch of salt and soda bicarb. Clean artificial flowers by placing them in a paper bag with ¼ cup of salt. Give the bag a few gentle shakes and your flowers will emerge as clean as the day you bought them. The easiest way to pick up glass fragments is to press a slice of bread over the area. Tie a dozen pieces of chalk together and hang them in your damp cupboard. The chalk will absorb the moisture help prevent mildew. Replace the bunch with a fresh bunch every few months. To clean stuffed toys, rub a little corn flour onto the toy, wait about 5 minutes and then brush it clean. For more tips you may contact me on jayaraom@yahoo.co.in

AYURVEDA AND PANCHAKARMA
Dr. H.B.Shailaja Ayurveda is one of the great gifts of the sages of ancient India to mankind. It is one of the oldest scientific medical systems in the world with a long record of clinical experience to validate it. However, it is not only a system of medicine in the conventional sense of curing disease, but also a way of life that teaches us how to maintain and protect health. It shows us how to cure disease and also to promote longevity. Ayurveda treats man as a 'whole' though at the same time viewing him as a combination of body, mind, and soul. Therefore it is a truly holistic and integral medical system. The word 'Ayu' means all aspects of life from birth to death. The word 'Veda' means knowledge or learning. Thus 'Ayurveda' denotes the science by which life in its totality is understood. It is a science of life that delineates the diet, medicines, and behavior that are beneficial or harmful for life. Ayurveda originated in the very beginning of the cosmic creation. Indian philosophers state that Ayurveda originates from Brahma, the creator of the universe.
